Daddy Nick is getting beter, we’re all home together taking care of each other, excited about the new year!!

Aww, this is great news. It’s really scary when someone close to you gets this dangerously sick so suddenly so I’m certain that Mariah is thrilled to have Nick recovering at home with her. I’m also quite certain that the couple’s twin babies, Monroe and Moroccan Scott, are happy to have their daddy home as well. Let’s keep our best thoughts for Nick and his speedy recovery. Sometimes the best medicine after surgery is the love and support of one’s family … in one’s home … in one’s own bed ;) Get well soon, Nick!!
